WINDOW-SASH AND WEATHER-GUARD THEREFOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 8, 1912.

Patented Aug. 6, 1912. Serial No. 682,452.

a citizen of the United States, and resident of Chicago, county of Cook,and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Window-Sashes and VVeather-G'uards Therefor, of which the followingis a specification, and which are illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, forming apart thereof. The invention is shown as applied to adouble sash car window, though it is applicable to windows used inconnection-with other structures.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and eificient weatherguard for window sashes, and an exemplification of it is hereinafterdescribed and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 1s adetail plan section of a pair of window sashes and a window casing; Fig.2 is a detail in perspective of the spring portion of the weather guard;Fig. 3 is a detail in perspective of a carrying strip for the weatherguard and which forms the edge of the sash; and Fig. 4 is a detail inperspective of a covering plate for the spring element of the weatherguard.

The window casing is represented at 10 and as being provided with anadjustable stile plate 11 carried by the screws 12, 13. The stops whichprovide the channels within which the sashes run are represented at 14,15, 16, and are three in number because of the presence of two sashes17, 18, the one being the outer and the other the inner sash of a doublesash window. I i A side rail only of each of the sashes is shown and isrepresented as being formed of sheet metal. As the two sashes are alikein construction but one need be described. Be-

.tween the side plates of the sash rail,.there' is secured a verticallydisposed channel bar 19, having its channel outwardly directed. Withinthis channel there is fitted the filler or edge strip 20, preferably ofwood, and which is rabbeted at its inner corners, as shown at 21, 22, tofit within the channel bar 19, to which it is secured by means ofscrews, as 23.

A U-shaped spring metal plate 24 is secured to the outer face of thestrip 20 by. any suitable means, such as screws, its side flanges 25,26, extending backwardly and flaring outwardl from the strip 20, and areadapted to frictlonally engage the stops, as 14, 15. The cover plate 27is of sheet metal and is bent so as to fit between the outer face of thestrip 20 and the channel bar 19, its marginal portions 28, 29, extendingbeyond the side faces of the sash rail, their edges being recurvedtoward the edge of the sash, as shown at 30, 31, and overhanging theouter edges of the flanges 25, 26, thereby preventing the entrance ofmoisture or dust which might accumulate between these flanges and thestrip 20.

I claim as my invention-- 1. In a window sash and weather guardtherefor, in combination, a channeled rail comprising a body portion andan edge strip secured thereto, a U-shaped sprin metal plate secured tothe edge face of t e sash rail, its inner portions extending backwarcllyand flaring outwardly, and a cover plate secured between the twosections of the rail and extending beyond the side faces thereof andbeing recurved to cover the edges of the wings of the spring metalplate.

2. A sash rail comprising a body portion having its edge face channeled,and an edge strip rabbeted to enter the channel of the body portion andbeing-secured to the latter, a U-shaped spring metal late secured to theedge face of the sash rail: its inner portions extending backwardly andflaring outwardly, and a cover plate secured between the two sections ofthe rail and extending beyond the side faces thereof and being recurvedto cover the edges of the wings of the spring metal plate.
